So after reading this I took a quick look on my harddrive, Elite Dangerous uses ~14 GB, Final Fantasy XIV ~20 GB, Guild Wars 2 ~25 GB and Dragon Age: Inquisition ~33 GB. These are all pretty massive games, MMOs and single player with high graphics and huge worlds and it took me about 30s to look up. The really sad part is even though you could go to reddit and tell him that he is talking out of his rear end you'd just get downvoted and his comment even more upvoted. Though of course the Citizens are the ones who have to clear up misconceptions about SC, perpetuated by the evil Derek Smart and his goon army

The most awkward thing about this is the craigslist ad he had to put out to get someone to film him. "Help Wanted ($250, 2 hours) Need someone to film gaming rig. Do not look at face. Do not look at eyes. No questions. Payment will come inside limited edition elite dangerous model Anaconda which you will smash to extract resources from."

It can bloat real drat fast if you don't manually get rid of poo poo you don't need.

Yep, It'd take some real gut and determination to fap to it. Edit: A plot you say? Protagonist is working a backwater job for a slight, or perhaps unorthodox methods, but the important point is that it's humble beginnings surrounded by characters. Then something bad happens, and the backwater is suddenly the center of attention, but oh no, there's nobody around but protagonist and characters, so they're going to have to step up. And step up they do, each confronting their own issue, perhaps trust, or trauma, but they did it together...or did they, because there's a snake in the grass, ready to stab them in their backs, boo, hiss. But the stab doesn't work, or the stabber had a change of heart over the stabee. This would be a great point to do big reveal over the slight that landed the protagonist in the backwater and everyone gets together to have a big rousing battle when the reinforcements turn up.

Surely there is a 10-minute side mission they can use to show off the open world mission system that doesn't spoil the story. That script looks like it's 400+ pages for crying out loud. haha yeah the stunning story twists and turns are why people go see star wars - what cerebral direction could the new movie go in??? *death star blows up*

Iglocska posted:Are you sure about the open-world part for SQ42?... Nobody knows anything. No one has ever said anything intelligible about what Star Citizen is. Here's the few things we ARE sure of: - CIG's only competency is fund raising. They bury their fears in money. - Chris Roberts is a hack, with a track record of extravagance and failure, and is incapable of designing this game. He buries his fears in daydreams. - Sandi Gardiner's only interest is fame and adulation. She buries her fears in wrath and cruelty towards others. - Ben Lesnick is a dumb, talentless fan who used to bury his fears in rabid, vicarious idol-worship. He has literally and figuratively grown into a tortured and cruel perversion of that sad child. He buries his fears in food. - The CIG community is an unflappable contingent of subnormal, spiteful, developmentally disabled miscreants who have no desire to think, talk, or act on their own behalf. They bury their fears in hype and feigned charity. - The technical parts of this game are years behind schedule. - CryEngine was a bad idea, and hacking it continues to occupy the majority of dev cycles. - The game's scope and lack of clearly defined features makes it literally impossible to deliver, because a team cannot build an undefined product without concrete requirements. - A small percentage of CIG engineers and artists are truly talented, but most of them are not - There are literally no capable project managers at CIG, because you cannot manage a project that has no edges and ever-changing requirements - The likelihood of SC being a good game is near-zero - The likelihood of CIG going bankrupt before SC can be made is non-zero Did I miss anything?

You know what makes games fun? Having to buy insurance in-game. Imagine having to buy insurance in GTA instead of just saving cars in garages. Or paying a fine to get them back from impound. No, those ideas are too easy and fun! Instead you have to pay for insurance!

Why do they constantly call it the most open development process ever? It's just youtube videos about nothing and jpgs. Where are the live streaming coders and the nightly builds? Do they do stuff like this or is it just cultists parroting as per usual?

Yeah, but that's cheating: in EVE, insurance serves a purpose in the in-game economy as an end-of-life transformation of items into money. Before the changes, it also served the purpose of giving base materials value.

It's a unique game breaking new ground and doing the impossible which it isn't. It's more open than any other game ever which it isn't. But if CIG says that's what it is then the backers truly think it must be. After all, CIG wouldn't lie, would they?

Iglocska posted:Are you sure about the open-world part for SQ42?... Yes. It was revealed at CitizenCon 2015 and was also mentioned in the PC Gamer article. quote:Squadron 42 will take place in a small area of Star Citizen’s overall galaxy—but that’s ‘small’ in a galactic sense. It’s a massive chunk of space, and, the team promises, completely open. They say you’ll be able to fly freely between stations and star systems, pursuing both the main story and secondary, optional missions. As Barclay gives me a tour of the level I can see markers on the vast starfield behind it, indicating distant worlds. This is to make moving around such an enormous space a lot easier for the developers. Yet SC doesn't have scope creep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ePYE2hd3I Jump to 1:26:15

quote:Barclay also talks briefly about so-called ‘secondary stories’ that will populate the open world. These self-contained narratives will, he says, be open to interpretation, comparing them to The Chinese Room’s post-apocalyptic Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. He won’t elaborate further on this, and gives no specific examples, but it certainly piques my interest. It’s amazing just how many different ideas they’re trying to squeeze in. What does this even mean? Why are they trying to put vague philosophical stories in a space opera

I'm watching the Wing Commander Movie, and it appears that Chris Roberts design ethos permeates the fictional universe, as well as the movie. At the start of the film, they hit the destruct button on "Literally the most important military secret ever, do not capture or humanity goes extinct" only to be greeted by a robot female voice <destruct system failed> there is no backup system and no way to manually destroy it, a real Chris Roberts-style design. Later Matthew Lillard's love interest needs to eject, but its offline. Must be in pre-alpha 2.0 on the ship system update. And the main plot is that earth forces left literally zero defense ships for earth, so a single tiny WWII carrier that's also a WWII submarine but in space is the only thing defending earth. I guess the fleet never bothered to create a design document, much like Chris Roberts.

One thing to point out here guys: people bitched about all these milestones being missed on the RSI forums (very few ppl mind you, and they've mostly been hosed right out of those forums by Lesnick and his henchmen). But nobody cared about the Squadron 42 deadline being missed. Nobody even noticed.
